GG in _Music & Ballet_

[Kristen Immoor <kimmoor@mindspring.com>]

In an interesting newsgroup thread discussing GG's distaste for Mozart I
found the following message (at bottom.) I was wondering,
1) Does anyone have this book?
2) Is it still in print and
3) is it worth looking into?
Best,
Kristen
